Changes in the Western diet over the past 150 years are causing many Americans to develop nutrient deficiencies. This is especially true of essential nutrients and fats found in fish and wild plants. More folks are eating high amounts of animal products and pesticide-laden fruits and veggies. And its no secret that there are far too many processed foods lining grocery store shelves.
A nutrient-lacking diet can cause or worsen major depression and may contribute to:
- Mood swings
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Headaches or other chronic pains
- And more!
One way to lift your mood and possibly help prevent depression is with omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are found in fish, flaxseed, winter squash, olive oil, navy beans and various nuts such as walnuts, Brazil nuts, hickory nuts and macadamia nuts.
Be sure to balance your meats and veggies with healthy amounts of omega-3 fats. You can say goodbye to the bluesand improve your overall health, too!
